Just noticed this:

I have great memories of Art [Miller]. He was one of a kind. Brusk on the outside, but a total muffin inside. I competed with and against him in sports. He coached a little league team including his son. They were the top of the league and my team was the bottom .We beat them and Art gathered his team after the game to rail, “You just got beat by the Relief Society.”Rest in peace my old friend.

Good job Dale

Gordon was way too smart. When he moved to Washington DC, I was confident he would fix the problem of the ever increasing US National Debt. But those in charge were ALL convinced that they knew everything and the problem continued out of control. Gordon, you will be missed.

I met Kathi while we were in 9th grade at different schools; but our 1957 annual Lagoon Day was on the same day and we met there while swimming in the big pool.

I naturally fell in love and she gave me her contact information. Her family lived on 10th East and about 28th South and I was employed at the time by Lee Hammel, our South High tennis coach, and was able to string rackets for him at the Salt Lake Tennis Club, located at 2445 South 9th East. So, when I was at work there, and finished stringing all the rackets, and I had some spare time on my hands, I would sometimes travel the 1/2 mile to visit her.

So at South High we were always friends. Later on I became acquainted with one of her charming nieces, Bernadette LeRoi, and even later with her younger brother Stewart. I knew Bernadette's father, Dominique, since I had helped him come to Utah upon the completion of my French East Mission in November 1964. He lived with us while a chef at the Alta Club and soon moved out when he met Kathi's sister. Those were the days.

I consider Kathi to be a class act of 1960.

Linda and I were schoolmates from elementary school (Liberty School in Salt Lake City), Junior High (Lincoln Junior High in Salt Lake City) and South High (in SLC). In 6th grade she was one of two students (the other was Lillian Yano) who always got 100s on their spelling tests--every week on Fridays. And I was impressed.

She lived her entire life, until the end, 1.15 blocks from where I was born and grew up.

When she married her husband, Ray, and they became the parents of Eric, I would see Ray walking his dogs past the home where I grew up, he was taking them to Liberty Park. I assumed he was training them to become seeing eye dogs for people who needed them. I was impressed again. I visited her once after she was married, to invite her to a South High Reunion but she didn't attend it. I was disappointed, and I'm sad to hear of her passing in 2023 (she was 81 years young) after living a full life. When she did, her name was Linda Decker Sundstrom, but I'll always think of her as Linda Decker.

Warner, Byron Marchant here.

After reading through your profile, ending here:

“…Now at age 83, after decades of serving others, offering my religious faith and lots of ‘extra’ money to good causes, and with the amazing support of my sweetheart, Kaye, I can honestly say I've had a blessed life. Much of it began in the hallowed halls of South High. Thanks to all the alumni and our teachers. Memories, memories….”

and your 26 April 2025 comments, including a recent photograph of your (and your two wives’) large family (I know something about large families, having 14 siblings from 1 set of parents), just wonder what you might have to say about a couple of things.

Do gay children go to the LDS Church’s Celestial Kingdom (I’m currently reading a 2016 book, Saving Alex, by Alex Cooper and Joanna Brooks)? Apparently they don’t.

When you offer your religious faith, do you (at least some of the time) tell people that Joseph Smith, Jr., was visited in 1820 by The Father and His Son (the New Testament Jesus Christ) in 1820 (an event the LDS Church sometimes calls The First Vision)? And if there was no 1820 First Vision, and the newly contacted convert was falsely told (at the urging of LDS Church General Authorities) that there was, does the conversion count?

And in June 1978, when these same LDS Church General Authorities later announced that they had witnessed a 1 June 1978 “Revelation” to President Spencer W. Kimball, they were again falsely testifying (because no such “Revelation” was necessary for free African blacks to be ordained, since priesthood denial had simply been a mistake). All that was necessary was an apology. So Warner, have you ever been involved in falsely telling Africans or Brazilians that there was a June 1978 “Revelation”?

And by the way, do you (or someone else who reads this) know what ever happened to Byron Burnett, one of our great South High School Cheerleaders?

Don't remember her but that's my loss. I guess she must be the twin of Dennis. What a pair if that's the case.

Happy, happy, birthday.

Jerry,
Just got an email from Robert Brey about your exploits. Congratulations. Germany sounds great. I don’t know much German, but some of my favorite people did. It’s a scholarly language: Baron d’Holbach, Bruno Bauer, Sigmund Freud…
Stay in touch. I enjoyed Lincoln and South High too.

Quite a heritage you and Mack have, Elaine. I’m now a great grandpa, with the birth 30 September 2023 of Joanna Elaine Tare (to my granddaughter Molly Fischer Tare and Klodi Tare). Hope you’re doing well.

It’s been a while since I posted something here. However, I’ve been busy doing research on American politics and American medicine. Here it is:

Dr. Zev Zelenko Who Saved Thousands of Lives During the COVID Pandemic - Passes Away After Long Battle with Cancer | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft

How can any American vote for Trump or Biden when they both, following the deadly 15 June 2020 FDA protocol (prohibiting medical doctors from treating COVID-19 patients with low dose HCQ and zinc):
https://www.fda.gov/media/138945/download

resulting in 27 to 1 more deaths that the alternative treatment.

“…Up to the time of his death, Zev had overseen the treatment of approximately 7,500 patients using his protocol and experienced only three patient deaths. The use of the Zelenko protocol has spread worldwide…”:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/06/dr-zev-zelenko-saved-thousands-lives-covid-pandemic-passes-away-long-battle-cancer/

Thus Zelenko, had 3 total deaths while treating 7,500 patients (1 death/2,500 patients average) during his lifetime.
The US, according to the WHO (08/17/2023), has suffered 1 death for every 91.9577671526 patients:
107,787,609/1,172,270= 91.9477671526:
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

or

2,500/91.9477671526/= 27.189349751701

Therefore, if you tested COVID-19 positive in the USA and were not treated by Dr. Zelenko and his treatment protocol, your chance of death was 27/1 times better (of suffering death) than if Zelenko had treated you in his NY “Country Doctor” office. I hear the same is the case at the Kentucky office of Dr. James Buckmaster:

if he can still treat you with low dose HCQ and zinc.

It isn’t every year that your birthday is celebrated with a turkey dinner and all the rest.
Enjoy your special day. And give my best to Becky.
